PETER BRIDGEMAN has taken a swipe at Jersey and accused them of creating bad feeling between the islands after the Caesareans won their first inter-insular in nine years on their home courts.

Jersey’s surprise inclusion of former world number three David Evans and a poor challenge in the junior ranks disappointed Bridgeman.

The GSRA director of squash, who ends his five-year stint in the island at the end of the season, was annoyed over the use of Evans, who wiped the floor with Guernsey number one, Martin Watts. Evans dropped just one point.
